In Person at The NODE institute, Berlin
Python is an incredibly versatile and human-readable programming language, widely used across industries such as data science, artificial intelligence, and automation. Within TouchDesigner, Python serves as a powerful scripting tool, allowing you to extend functionality, automate processes, and create dynamic, interactive content.
Even if you’re not a programmer, Python naturally integrates into TouchDesigner workflows. While copying and pasting snippets of code can be useful, developing a deeper understanding of Python will empower you to solve problems more efficiently, optimize your node architecture, and unlock new creative possibilities. By learning Python in TouchDesigner, you can create custom tools, automate repetitive tasks, and even integrate external Python libraries to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
This course, led by Daniel Molnar (aka Function Store), is designed for both beginners and experienced TouchDesigner users looking to expand their scripting skills. You’ll gain a solid foundation in Python and learn how to apply it within TouchDesigner to improve efficiency, streamline complex setups, and build more flexible, powerful projects.
What You’ll Learn
- Demystify Python in TouchDesigner
Understand core programming concepts and how Python integrates into node-based workflows - Control and Manipulate Operators
Learn how to access, modify, and automate TouchDesigner components with code - Think Beyond Nodes
Develop system-based problem-solving skills and create cleaner, more efficient networks - Build Custom Tools and Logic
Create interfaces, utilities, and reusable systems tailored to your own projects - Connect to the Outside World
Use Python to work with web data, external libraries, and real-time information sources
